A Song to Sing

A Song to Sing

written by: Mike Turner

Give me uplifting lyrics
To wrap my soul around
‘Twill ease my weary heartache
And I’ll lay my troubles down

Give me music to end all suffering
That I’ll hear as mournful blues
‘Twill answer all my longing
And my lost faith, will renew

Give me a sense of wonder
That my spirit might take wing
And I’ll shuffle off this coil
With a heavenly song to sing

Mike Turner
